Sources for this idea appear to be limited to those described in Frederic Farrar's "The Life and Work of St. Paul," in which he describes Magos as a title of Artemis of Ephesus. This is assumed to have been adopted, with a typo, by the author of the Grimoire of Honorius, as a title for on...

Dont forget the author of that site runs "a Hecatean-Qliphothic coven of psychic-vampyric Demonolaters primarily dedicated to Moloch." The format of the rituals are common in the Michael Ford Sabbatic type books that blend darker shades of Wicca with ideas ripped from medieval grimoires a...

Afraid I can't really touch this one regarding Hekate and Magot / Maguth. Not really into the Demon equations to Hekate as a whole. Sort of like naming the seven demoness who make up the Pleiades group (who were bound by Solomon to build his temple) and saying the 7th one, titled the worst of all be...

That makes sense from the Greek Philosophical perspective. I wonder what the Jewish tradition actually says about worshipping the Messiah - their god is a jealous god, and half of the bible involves him trashing other gods till he's the only one left. He might not approve of people worshipping the ...

Presumably Christ would fit into the Platonic conception of the Hero. He could be seen as playing the Daimonic role toward Christians as Proclus describes Socrates playing in his interaction with Alcibiades. Asuming this notion was current in Porphyry's day and not a new idea of Proclus. So, from a...

Lol hey why don’t you tell that tonSaint Augusta of Hippo since he wrote about her specifically in rebuttles.

Great post Monsoleedra. Do you have any preferred sources to read up on the 'procession of the key'? I haven't come across this before. This one is harder to address. You never really find more than a paragraph or two on the event itself. Occasionally an inscription that has been translated pertain...

You can google as far as sacrificial rites to the underworld to find that appeasement of a “gate keeper” was nessicary depending on how far back it might have changed from animal to fruit or veggies to silver to a number of things. It’s not needed for the most part though since as you mentioned the...

For what it is worth, here is the start of my invocation to Hekate: I call on the Great Goddess Hekate, favoured Titaness, Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hell, Queen of the Underworld, Earth and Sea. Queen of Magic, Queen of the Night. Queen of the Crossroads, Spirits and Keys, Keeper of the Divine Flam...
